ModUtils

Core library for mods by Acitulen.

⚠️WARNING⚠️ This version of ModUtils is designed to function with VotV 0.9.0n. Using older or newer versions of the game may cause errors!

If you have any suggestions or encounter a bug, you can submit it as an issue on my GitHub repository.

Features:

  • Config system: adds the Mod configs category to the game settings (also opened with Ctrl+Shift+C in game).
  • Save system: saves mod variables without creating extra save files.
  • DataTable merging: merges mod DataTables into the game. Compatible with Fusion.

Manual installation guide.

Install unreal shimloader

  • Copy dwmapi.dll into the GAME/Binaries/Win64 directory. Its new path should be GAME/Binaries/Win64/dwmapi.dll.
  • Copy the contents of the UE4SS folder in the package into GAME/Binaries/Win64.

GAME/Binaries/Win64 should now contain the following new files and folders:

  • GAME-Win64-Shipping.exe
  • ue4ss.dll
  • UE4SS-settings.ini
  • dwmapi.dll ← This is the unreal-shimloader binary. It will load UE4SS for you.
  • Mods/

Install ModUtils

  • Copy ModUtils.pak from the pak folder to GAME/Content/Paks/LogicMods directory.
  • Copy the contents of the mod folder into the GAME/Binaries/Win64/Mods/Acitulen-ModUtils directory.

*You need to create the Acitulen-ModUtils folder manually.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. Most mods rely on the game's mod loader — the usual route is a community mod manager (such as r2modman): pick this game, install, and it handles the loader and dependencies.
  3. For a manual install, put the mod files into the matching Mod / plugins folder inside the game directory.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; mods with listed dependencies need those installed as well.

Install locations vary a lot between mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.

Dependencies

Install these first, or the mod will not work:
